Portland has come open in the WCC. Other 11 coaches are human and we had the #6 conference rpi last season. Good roster at Portland. If you are looking for a nice foundation to build a strong team in a conference that aspires to elite results, try Portland in Allen!

I'm not at the level of those conferences yet (which is a farce being I once won a national championship with Kansas and have to rebuild my resume to be eligible for a D+ prestige school.

I'm trying to decide if I should take a school that should be able to win fairly quickly, or try and build Navy into a contender just for the heck of it since it will never happen in real life...... It's such a tough option

Yeah, USC is a different case though than the Big East and SEC openings. He quit for different reasons. It wasn't because of recruiting against the ACC, though the ACC's dominance doesn't help. In the west, you are pretty free from the ACC recruiting sorties.
